I had thought my problem might have been a result of leaving OF running for days or weeks on end. My computer never sleeps though (stupid bug is OS X...), so my problem wouldn't be exactly the same. Also, I've gotta into the paranoid habit of starting and restarting OF frequently.

I wonder if the problem is with my computer not sleeping... Maybe OF thinks the computer is asleep so doesn't activate the task.

However, even the problem you've described is unacceptable, and your solution, while functional, is crappy at best. The problem shouldn't exist.
